Chapter 7
증상 (Symptoms)January 29th
Jongin's P.o.v.
Kim Jongdae had been missing for nearly a month.
There hadn't been much the police found.
Sehun was still in jail and the authorities have been purposely not telling us anything about it.
It was almost as if they knew he wasn't the man who attacked Tiffany.
I guess I've should've started with that.
Tiffany Hwang was attacked by a man who she clearly refuses to name the night Sehun was arrested.
Jongdae had disapeared before Tiffany been attacked, so everyone already dismissed the thought that it could've been him.
Sehun was under arrest of false accusations on Tiffany's behalf, so at this time, everyone despised her.
She isn't even around to feel the wrath of everyone, because just like Jongdae, she sooned too had vanished.
But unlike Jongdae, she was only currently residing in Jessica's home.
Kyungsoo is the only one who knows about what she's been up to lately since he and Jessica are cousins through the marriage of his aunt and her uncle. Over the years, they became close, best friends even.
Weeks felt like years here.
A knock came to my door, startling my mind and jumbling my thoughts back together as I came back to reality.
"Jongin?"
I sighed and closed my eyes. That muffled voice was Baekhyun.
"Yes. Come in."
He wasted no time, pushing my freshly polished hardwood door open, then closed it behind him.
He approached my bed and I didn't bother to sit up.
I was too tired.
"You don't bother to sit up for your hyung?" He spoke.
I turned my attention from the ceiling to him. I then returned my attention to the ceiling once I got a look of him.
"The drama of our friends has somehow knocked down my self-esteem and ability to go on forth in physical activity."
"Jongin.. you were just at work this morning."
"I left early didn't I?"
"True." He snickered softly.
"Listen, Jongin.." Baekhyun started after seconds of silence, folding his hands together. "This morning we got a call from the jail that is withholding Sehun."
By this time, I had began to prop myself up by my elbows, all while holding a worried frown on my face.
"They want to move him.... they're going to move him."
"What? Why?"
"Something they won't share with us, has happened in the current jail he's in. All they manged to tell Yifan is that it had been a violent matter."
"Violent?.... something happened to Sehun?" I had fully sat up, swinging my legs over my bed.
"Where are they trying to take him?"
Baekhyun stood to his feet. "They said something about a Japan-"
"Japan?!" I scoffed.
They couldn't possibly have carried this all the way to a different country. He hadn't even comitted this crime.
"Surely this is a mistake."
"Surely, you'd let me finish my sentences, let alone my thoughts."
I had closed my mouth off from any further opinions and comments, standing to my feet as well.
"A Japanese-Korean judge. Moved away from Japan 30 years ago to study law and jurisdiction here or something. I just know how much this is uncalled for."
This was more than uncalled for. It was stupid and useless to waste the money on moving an innocent man to another estate of hell they call a prison.
"It's obvious it isn't up to us where they decide to move him, even if it is silly and idiotic." Baekhyun shook his head.
"Does he have a date of court?"
Baekhyun nodded. "February 4th. Tiffany is supposed to give a statement."
"And we'll just let her?"
"Not even in hell would I let that she devil make a false statement about my best friend."
"Then... then what are we going to do?"
"Yifan, Junmyeon, Chanyeol, and I plan to pay Hwang a visit." Baekhyun said. "Kyungsoo informed Jessica's sister, Krystal."
"Krystal?" I questioned. A name all too familiar but strange to this situation. "I haven't seen Krystal since she were 15." And for quite a while, I thought she oddly had been 15 all through teenage years to 20's.
"Krystal and Sehun are still very close to my surprise." Baekhyun spoke.
I took a seat on my bed. I had forgotten Sehun and Krystal have nearly been the same age. Sehun being just 3 years older than her.
"Wait a minute... Krystal is back?" I asked confused. Krystal h
